PTI Australia challenge

Nichole's 4th challenge was to make a card that was Australian inspired. Nichole spoke of masking and Aboriginal drawings and how they were typically outlined. I chose this turtle from an older SU set and stamped in Versamark and then embossed with verdigris powder. Love this rustic effect and colour. I then outlined with a marker and also filled in some areas amongst the dashes with a Copic marker. I like the different textures, but don't know if it truly exemplifies the Aboriginal "effect" that I was hoping to create. Oh well, I think the image looks "hieroglyphic" and could possibly pass?

About Me

I am a Canadian gal transplanted from Montreal to Austin, Texas, my home since June 1998. I have a wonderful loving husband who puts up with my passions. I have been gardening almost all of my life and stamping for 10+ years. At night, you can find me knitting almost every night of the year in front of a tv show. We have 2 older children, a daughter 28 yrs. old and a son 23 yrs. old. Our pets are an Australian shepherd mini (Rileigh), a conure (Cappy) and we are taking care of DD's cat, Pearl, as her apartment allows only one pet and she has the Boston Terrier, Elmo .
